Search flights from TFN to LPA
Mount Teide
The massive 3,715m volcanic peak dominates the horizon for the first half of the flight.
Auditorio de Tenerife
The iconic white sail-shaped building in Santa Cruz is visible shortly after leaving the TFN runway.
Roque Nublo
Gran Canaria's iconic central volcanic monolith can be spotted in the distance as the plane turns for landing.
Pozo Izquierdo
The world-famous windsurfing coast on Gran Canaria's east side is visible just before touchdown.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
A complete aerial view of the island's capital city as the plane tracks southeast.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' To see Mount Teide clearly, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the peak. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing the best lighting for photography of the Tenerife coastline.
